try quartering the trigger chance and quadrupling the damage, then it'll be balanced

well LFG, despite the fact that you and i both think the other is a douchebag, if you'll just accept the fact that i'm right like 99.4% of the time and move on with your life, everything will just be so much easier around here.

p.s. that goes for everyone else here as well

Items like this make PvP unique and meaningful. I like that personally..

In good fashion I will prescribe how to combat this item so you see it as I do.

Re-target via macro...

Whether I have this item or not doesn't matter, what I am sure of is that I fight (most likely) more people with this item than you do since I am out PvP'ing daily solo on nagafen. I therefore should have equal if not more reason to qualify this item as being OP.

I'm certainly not the best pvp'er on nagafen but I do learn and adapt to my foe. If you kill me I figure out how and why and adjust a strategy for our next encounter.

In short I have fought a lot of people (mostly scouts) with this item and have always just re-targetted them after losing target and my assassin hits fast..

Why can't you adapt? why can't you learn? why do you yearn to destroy any flavor in PvP?.......

Besides as someone else suggested.. PvP gear should suit pvp and raid gear should suit PvE raids.. as it did in T7 and as it probably will in T8. This effect doesn't work in PvE raids nor does the combat expertise proc on the waist band either...

I won't be happy until the proc rate equals 100% (and I can't even wear it)

How about dividing the trigger chance by eight and octupling the damage?

We all know about the broken mechanic that once you start casting a spell, you don't even need to be in line of sight or even have a target to hit your target.. so why are mages uspet?

Just re-target via macro to get target back.. take a split second litterally...

No idea why people consider this as OP myself..

If anyone should be complaining it should be scouts like myself who hit several times a second..

Dropping target is nothing more than a mild annoyance.
